Hi! Nice video. You know, I would like to do exactly the opposite. Read texts from a text file (for example a list of questions and answers) into django database. How would you do that? I can read from a CSV file, and that is easy. How would you go about is ok, but can you explain how to do it from a raw text file or even MS Word .

[@yahyaa4499]

You are a genius! Just Amazing👍👍

[@Codemycom]

Ha, glad you liked it

[@svysvr4268]

[@mohdrummanshuja749]

when I click the Venue Text File button I am not getting all those options to either just see it or save it, it is just simply downloading it. Please help! I tried trying 'inline' instead of 'attachment' now still not getting options but just seeing those texts!

[@Codemycom]

What did you do differently from the video?

[@Raja-ie7nq]

Nice work.....will you post a video for viewing events in calendar with some calendar style stuff...and also notice board like upcoming events

[@Codemycom]

I want to clarify one point. To display the text correctly in Notepad (Windows), you need to set ` `.

[@Codemycom]

[@AhmedTheCoder]

@@Codemycom I want to convert from a CSV file to an AutoCAD file and I succeeded in that, but after the conversion, I cannot access the converted file because I do not want to save it on the server, but when converting it it generate file to download it on click.

[@Codemycom]

@@AhmedTheCoder Sorry, I don't know AutoCAD or how you did that.

[@AhmedTheCoder]

[@sophyia4358]

Can I also use this code to generate .txt file on django admin? My aim is to save user's information. Tha backend is an API.

[@Codemycom]

Huh? Your users info is already saved on the database, you don't need to add it to a text file to save it...

[@linatroshka]

Thanks for this video. It has been very helpful. I slightly adapted if for my case where I need to save a single post in my app to a text file.

[@Codemycom]

awesome

[@xanderkaufman5162]

I tired to do this for an individual file instead of all my files... it didn't work.. Suggestions?

[@Codemycom]

Sorry, not sure what you mean

[@promiseogunka8020]

could you make a video for generating .doc or .docx files as well or can this method work as well

[@Codemycom]

No sorry

[@terrywright6571]

When I click the link the machine brings up a download window and puts the file into downloads rather than as per your system offering me the options. (windows 11 and Edge browser)

[@Codemycom]

That's a setting in your web browser. You can change that in your browser settings
